Television viewers in Los Angeles on Thursday got to see something pretty unusual -- a wanted sex offender surrendering to a KTLA reporter during a live broadcast.

Authorities said that Valentino Rodriguez Jr., a conviced sex offender, had cut off his ankle monitor on Monday and gone missing. When he turned himself in to reporter Eric Spillman on live TV, Rodriguez said he wanted to "do the appropriate thing," KTLA reported.

Rodriguez said that he had become paranoid and cut the ankle monitor off for that reason, the station reported.
